Today I go into detail about life coaching intakes. Basically, these are questionnaires that gather information about new clients. Some areas you need to cover include general information such as name, address, education and marital status. Also, you will ask the coaching client what their goal is for working with you. This is also an opportunity to educate the client on the coaching process. Let clients know what to expect, including your coaching model and fee’s. You also have an opportunity to build trust with your clients during the intake process. One important issue to cover is confidentiality. Confidentiality is where you keep all identifying information of your client and the work they do with you in private. You do not share this information with anyone. As a result, clients feel more at ease in working with you and they stay more engaged in the coaching process.
